Cafe Bambino

A popular NW 65th St. coffee house situated in southeast Ballard at the base of the steep climb up to Phinney Ridge, Cafe Bambino's huge cool plaster Buddha baby balancing a cup of espresso on its head is a neighborhood landmark created by artist and cafe owner Andhi Spath. Several artists live or share studio space in the surrounding neighborhood, and there is also a lively nightlife at several nearby bars when the Bambino is sleeping.
